We had the busiest weekend ever!!! Thursday we had 3 stops to make! First we stopped off at Zachs, Aunt LeAnnes and Uncle Barts. It is always fun there. He has such an amazing family(both sides), that makes me feel so welcome! =] Then we headed to my Grandma Mitchells. Morgan, Payton, Tyanne and I played our usual game of Trouble, while Marcus and Zach slept, the little boys played Video Games and the "adults" sat at the table and talked! That is just what the country does to you!!! (makes you sleepy!) It was wonderful to see everyone, I haven't seen in so long! Everyone is so busy, its hard to get together! I can't believe how big my little cousins are getting. Then after that, we headed back to Fishers, and stopped by Zachs Grandmas for a short bit, just to say hello. She made soup, but we couldnt' eat anymore!!
On Friday we had our friends Thanksgiving which we like to call Drinksgiving! :) Another year...a lot of friends...a lot of money spent...a lot of fun!!! Drinksgiving is something we decided to do last year...as an excuse for all of our friends to get together.(and party) All of us have lives, some are married, some even have kids, and this is just a great way for everyone to get together at once!!
Steph and I made most of the food...and most everyone pitched in!! We had tons of food!! It was wonderful! I think Zach and I ate more than we did on Thanksgiving. I do thank everyone so much for pitching in and helping! and for not trashing my house this year!!!! It was wonderful to walk downstairs the next morning and not have to clean up too much! =] Can't wait for next year!
Saturday we had a real Thanksgiving Dinner with Zachs Grandparents. They are a blast. While Zach watched TV with his dad and Grandpa, I played games with his cousins,Mom, and Matt and Emily....so fun! :) You can never go wrong with Catch Phrase and Apples to Apples!! I really do adore them.
Sunday we headed to Rushville to Grandpa and Lindas house...which is always quite the haul that results in me stopping at the same Village Pantry for Zach to pee....EVERYTIME. Its so funny. Its like clock work! Its always so busy up there on Thanksgiving, so many cousins, many of which I dont even know their names (i know thats so awful!) But its always fun! We didnt stay too long, we were soooo pooped from the entire weekend that we just went home and collapsed!
Here are some pictures of Drinksgiving! Last year I had a lot more, but these still turned out great! :)
I took this picture late...these are only about 1/2 of the cups. Steph stepped up the game and got cups twice the size we had last year! :)
Some of the foooood!
